You've not quite caught the trick of the difference between == and =
if ($page_name = 'default')
does not TEST $page_name -- It changes it, and then returns the new
value.
So, pretty much, your $page_name will ALWAYS be 'default' after you
hit this line, no matter what it started out as.
When in doubt about a script, toss in some:
echo $page_name;
statements here and there, to see if the variables are what you think
they are.
This usually lets you narrow down pretty quickly where things are
wrong, and then the why part is usually fairly simple.
... Though I confess I just blew half a day figuring out that:
<script type="text/javascrpt">
was not right. :-(
[note spelling]
Must have read that line 100 times in the course of the day, trying to
figure out why the alert('hello'); right after it wasn't working. :-(
Firefox, Firebug, HTMLValidator...
Not one of them bothered to tell me "unknown type" :-(
